Sports Day Legends

In the year of 1995, a young aspiring athlete named Dame Sarah Rose Winfield staggered, leaped and pranced to victory in a Cheshire primary school’s annual sports day. This outstanding achievement was accomplished in the World renowned event that is the sack race (this sack race record was held by Winnie - as she is affectionately known - until 1998, when it was tragically stolen off her by a fellow school competitor)

In a newspaper report, Dame Sarah stated: "Well naturally, when I won in 1995, '96 and '97 I was thrilled, and I owe it all to my lucky potato sack and my abnormally athletic ability to jump over long distances, however when I was robbed of my Dame-worthy title I felt like my career and life was well and truly over, and that is all I have to say about that."

Meanwhile, several hundred miles away in a small primary school in Martlesham, Suffolk a fellow aspiring Olympian, Dame Eleanor Evans had claimed her victory over the three legged race - a title she holds to the present day.

In a television interview, Dame Eleanor gave an exclusive statement on her achievement: "Obviously I always had an advantage over the other competitors, due to the fact I actually was born with three legs. Before I achieved this title I received some harsh bullying from fellow peers calling me names such as millipede girl. Well…they’re not laughing now are they?"
